I am a computer scientist with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Illinois and a minor in Statistics. I like to work with deep nets and vision. Also spend time working with c++, python and go.

I would like to give credit for a lot of style and format that I use to professor Jeff Erickson who was my professor for the algorithms course at UIUC CS 374 which I learned a lot and where I found my passion with computer science. Also im influnced and motivated by Andrej Karpathy work and his influence with AI. Also a big fan of George Hotz and his coding streams and general outlook in software engineering.

Young man, in mathematics you don’t understand things. You just get used to them.
— John von Neumann

Dealing with failure is easy: Work hard to improve. Success is also easy to handle: You’ve solved the wrong problem. Work hard to improve.
